Michel Leiris, French writer, husband of Louise Leiris (Galérie Louise Leiris). Paris 1983

French writer Michel Leiris, photographed in Paris in 1983, looks directly at the camera. He is seated in a dark suit and a checkerboard-patterned tie before a wooden chest of drawers. The setting is populated with art: to his left stands a tall, stylized sculpture reminiscent of African art, while a framed modernist portrait of a figure with a white, mask-like face hangs on the wall behind him.
